    Valid 300030Z - 300200Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 557
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe gust threat should persist with the ongoing MCS
    for at least a couple more hours. It is unclear how far southeast
    the MCS will progress, so conditions will continue to be monitored
    for the need of any downstream Severe Thunderstorm Watches.

    DISCUSSION...A cold-pool-driven MCS, with a history of several
    reported severe wind gusts, continues to gradually propagate to the east-southeast over southeastern SD. Extreme buoyancy (i.e.
    3000-5000 J/kg MLCAPE) precedes the MCS, but with marginal
    deep-layer shear and weak low-level shear. As such, the MCS
    continues to propagate forward at only 30 kts, with MRMS mosaic
    radar data showing slight weakening trends (i.e. overall weaker
    echoes exceeding 50 kft). It is unclear how far southeast the MCS
    will propagate, especially since a residual northwest-to-southeast
    oriented frontal boundary continues to push southwestward across the
    MCS path with cooler and potentially more stable air. Nonetheless,
    given existent strong to extreme buoyancy, MCS behavior will
    continue to be monitored for the possible need of a downstream
    Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance.
